Wayne Knupp, original vocalist of Devourment, soundchecking before a set in 1997. Very impressive. Though I was already familiar with the guttural style of vocals by the time I heard Devourment in 97, I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I used to listen to them non-stop in high school and this guy was a big influence on my vocal work. Rest in Peace dude.

They tricked the guy in the Carcass shirt into shaving his head before they became astronauts.
Want some professionally recorded, well written, well executed Florida style blackened Death Metal that rivals any big gun you care to mention? Want them to write songs about space? Want them to put it out for free download because Ron Vento (of Aurora Borealis) doesn't have shit to prove to anyone and he's just fuckin chill like that? No, you probably just want to speculate about Morbid Angels setlist at MDF this year on a message board or something. Or maybe you're fuckin chill like Ron Vento. Be like Ron.
Today was a really hard day, and I have had the life beaten out of me by time, women, drug addicts, myself and Death Metal.But then I found this. And now I have to feel better.
Found this shot of Ryan making a questionable fashion statement while looking for Dimentianon interviews. Sadly, all of the guys pictured in the interview besides Mike, what I refer to as the "silver age" lineup, have gone their separate ways. I don't talk to those guys as much as I used to, but still consider anyone who was ever in that band a friend to some degree or another. I have fond memories of playing shows with Dimentianon and relying on Paragon Records for support back when I was in Biolich and will always feel indebted to them for how welcoming they were to me and my bands through the years, practically since I first started making music.
Here's what they've been up to lately, a recently released album entitled "Collapse the Void", featuring Pete Christopher (Arti Brain drummer Winter season 2010), returned bassist Maureen (originally of the "golden age" lineup from back in the 90s), and famed Hungarian Death Metal guitar virtuoso, "Salty" Z. Unfortunately I was unable to fulfill a guest vocal appearance on the new album for various reasons, which is regretful. This may be the most well produced, well written and dynamic Dimentianon release ever. All hype aside, this is an excellent sounding album and is a true testament to perseverance in the underground metal scene.
And for those who want to reminisce, here's a link to the "Silver age" lineup interview: Minacious Webzine

The dorky guy lives in the city but is locked away in his apartment with no adventure. He is afraid to leave the house because he is fearful of his own primal nature and sexuality. The woman in red is Satan come to set him free through lust and music. At the end of the video it is she who is thankful. This is because Satan is the primal nature and sexuality of man, and the dorky guy has allowed her to survive. This is why he gladly affirms her presence and passes her on to the younger man at the end.
